Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us back into our study on the life of Joseph, "Peaks and Valleys." We know that there are many lessons we draw from our defeats. But it's still fun to win, isn't it? But it's what we learn from defeat that helps us to respond with humility and grace in victory. Joseph shows us how righteousness in our valleys can lead to greater joy when we reach the peaks.

Pastor Ron Eckberg shares a special Father's Day message.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us in the next chapter of Joseph's life. Wisdom is highly valued by every culture and in every situation in the world. And yet, not all that is seen as "wisdom" is created equal. In Joseph's interaction with Pharaoh and his court we see true, divine wisdom at the forefront and see the magnitude of its power. It's a great lesson for why we must always choose God's wisdom over any power of this world.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg teaches the next lesson in our series, "Peaks and Valleys." To this point, Joseph's story seems to be a series of successive valleys, each feeling deeper and darker than the last. But in Genesis 41 we see how his faithfulness puts him right where God wants him when divine opportunity arises. This week we discuss how we imitate Joseph to be ready for the work God has in store for us.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg leads us back into our study of the life of Joseph in the last section of Genesis. Sometimes we feel like we've done everything right and yet the results we get are disappointing and frustrating. We may even feel abandoned by God. Through one such season, Joseph shows the incomprehensible goodness of God's faithfulness. In doing so we learn how to lean into His purposes that we might endure in our mission to the very end.

Pastor Ron Eckberg brings a special message for memorial day weekend from John 21. Over the 250 year course of our nation’s history 42 million Americans have answered the call to serve in our military. 1.3 million died answering that call. As we reflect on their sacrifice this Memorial Day we should also reflect on an even greater calling—the call to a complete devotion and service to our Lord Jesus.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg continues our study of the life of Joseph. Are you a starry-eyed optimist or a cautious skeptic? We all at least lean one way or the other. And our natural disposition affects the way we see the world around us, especially in times of turmoil. But regardless of how we view a situation, God always provides for His faithful children. This is the clear lesson we learn in Genesis 39 through Joseph's time in Potiphar's house.

Pastor Jonathan Eckberg preaches an unusual Mother's Day message, but one that reminds us of God's grace and goodness through the next chapter of Genesis. Over the past two weeks we've seen Joseph's righteousness compared with his brothers' wickedness. The contrast is stark. And yet, God chooses to use both to teach us about his sovereignty and goodness. In Joseph's story, the way God does this is clear. But what about his brothers? Genesis 38 teaches us some unlikely lessons through the lives of Judah and Tamar.
